Although we've had recipe comments for some time, they were difficult to find, confusing to use, felt bolted on and weren't very useful.
Now, any pro member can enter a review (including an optional score) on any recipe that isn't their own.
Any user - free, pro or just a visitor - can view those ratings and use them to sort recipes "by rating." There aren't many recipes rated yet, but that is slowly growing.
See sorting by rating on the recipes page
Hot, top and pop flavors are now available at the top of every flavor search page - as well as a link to your own inventory. Flavors search page
I also added additional percentage data on the flavor page: grouping and counting percentages sorted by usage. You can see this here in the section marked "Other Percentages". This still isn't the most useful data possible, but it may be the most useful data available anywhere at this time. Expect this to improve further.
We have two new vendors by request: LOP and Super Concentrates. Does anyone know if SC is
- The same SC at BCV and Vaping Zone
- Actually alcohol based?
I've never worked with them, any information appreciated. I'll order a few next chance I get.
Thanks for all the feedback and support - not only financial, also testimonials and the great emails you guys send me make a big difference. Without you all this would be impossible.
- Q
EDIT: Skiddlz has prompted me to mention that the comments at the bottom of the page are still available for free users to read and enter. These get saved on the page, allow semi-threaded conversations and notify the owner of the recipe when you enter them. But they don't affect the recipe's ranking or show up automatically. I'll be doing additional work to make them flow better.
Just because I know it will be asked, why aren't you allowing free users to post reviews?
I want reviews to be from people with skin in the game, to try and drive curatorship and responsibility. Anyone being able to create an account for free and start gaming the results seems to prompt a bad result on other sites.
Also, driving more pro users isn't a bad thing.
Please keep it this way - I don't want to see loads of trashy comments :)
I want to say the BCV SC are the same as Vapingzone but I do not have confirmation on that.
I can say that the BCV Black n Mild is the same as VZ Black Cigar, the Cherry Cigar is also the same as is the French Pipe and Honey Flue Cured. So at least the tobacco's seem to be the same.
Awesome, I'm going through and giving some thoughtful reviews...after I've submitted them it doesn't show them like I see others. For example, yours (Q) will be in the completed form, mine will be in edit form...make sense? It just looks odd.

BCV has confirmed the SC line is the same as VZ.
SC Gourmet at VZ = Baker's Flavors, a different lineup.
I know All The Flavors is a android app, and also a website. I don't have an android phone, so I'd only be using it in a PC.
Can you tell me the advantages in becoming a pro member (for PC use) opposed to a regular member? Also, are their recipes on the site that only pro members can see?
No, there are no recipes that you can see only as a pro user. Recipes are either public (available to visitors, free and pro) or private (visible only to the owner and the collaborators he choses)
I don't have a specific list on hand of all the things a pro user can do that a free one cannot, but the most obvious ones are creating more than 2 recipes, entering recipe reviews, and creating batches.
The largest advantage is probably promoting further development, and getting a bigger voice when driving the direction of the app forwards. There is also a DIY mixer's scale in development, but I've fallen way behind on that schedule.

Thanks for the info. I'm definitely considering going pro. Is there a easy way to take my flavors list and transfer it to All The Flavors? Like with an google docs spreadsheet or my ELR flavors stash? Or is adding them one by one the best (or only) way?
I added all my flavors into my profile. Is the "what can I make" function supposed to work for non-pro users? I kept trying it last night and got an error page each time I tried clicking on it. Wasn't sure the function was down for updates, or if it wasn't available to me.
Hi there! I just wanted to say thank you. I've been trolling the site a little and I want to go pro! I have a feature requests I'm interested in submitting but am not sure how to submit it to you. I'm particularly interested in asking if you could provide and alternate sign on portal. I don't have gmail and don't want to create one just for the site. Maybe just my non gmail to create an account, please? I don't bind logins with social media either. I know I'm old school.
General question - do you also have any plans for an iPhone app? Otherwise I'll be only using the web version of the pro.
Thank you so much for creating this site I'm excited to start using it :)
Sorry but today, a google login is the only way to sign up on the site.
iOS is probably not going to happen - Apple does not approve of "tobacco related" apps on the App store - they sometimes pull them without warning, which would be a tremendous waste of resources for me.
I didn't know about apple. Thank you for the fast response. I'll have to get a gmail account then. Now where do I find an android device so I can experience the full blast of your service!
